Unreal3.2.10-rc1 Release Notes
===============================
==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]==
- If you are upgrading on *NIX, then make sure you run 'make clean' and
'./Config' first, before running 'make'.
- The official UnrealIRCd documentation is doc/unreal32docs.html
online version at: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIRCd/unreal32docs.html
FAQ: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIRCd/faq/
Read them before asking for help.
- Report bugs at http://bugs.unrealircd.org/
- The purpose of the sections below (NEW, CHANGED, MINOR, etc) is to be a
SUMMARY of the changes in this release. There have been 79 changes in
total, for the full list of changes see the Changelog.
==[ NEW ]==
- Improved socket engine. This brings some performance improvements and
also makes it easier to configure a system to hold more than 1024
clients (no more editing of header files on Linux!).
- ESVID support: services can communicate the account name of the user
back to the IRCd. This only works on ESVID-capable services:
- Extban ~a:<accountname>: matches users who are logged in to services
with that account name.
- Show account name in /WHOIS
- CAP support: this enables clients to enable certain features more easily.
Can be disabled through set::options::disable-cap.
- Now that STARTTLS is advertised in CAP it is likely to be used more often.
- away-notify: informs clients of AWAY state changes of users on the same
channels, for clients that support this.
- account-notify: similar to away-notify, inform clients of changes in the
login status and account name used by other clients on the same channels.
- SASL support. To use this, and if your services support this, you point
set::sasl-server to your services server.
- Server-side MLOCK support: the IRCd will prevent channel mode changes
depending on the MLOCK setting in services. Requires special support
from services for this feature.
- User Mode +I (IRCOp only): hide idle time
- auth-method 'sslclientcertfp': authenticate users using an SSL client
certificate by the SHA256 fingerprint of that certificate.
The documentation has a new section (3.19) called 'Authentication Types'
which contains an (improved) example of how to use SSL client certificate
authentication instead of regular passwords.
- oper::require-modes: an optional setting, which can be used to require
users to have certain user modes (such as 'z') before they can /OPER up.
- allow/deny channel: you can now optionally specify a class here as an
extra filter.
- doc/example.es.conf: Spanish translation of example configuration file.
- There have also been some behavior changes, which can be considered NEW,
see next section (CHANGED).
==[ CHANGED ]==
- Anti-spoof protection (ping cookies) can now be enabled/disabled at
run-time through set::ping-cookie [yes|no]. The default is 'yes' (enabled).
- A quit with 'Ping timeout' now shows the number of seconds since the ping.
- Print out a warning if we can't write to a log file.
- Refuse to boot if we can't write to ANY log file.
- Windows: if an SSL certificate exists, then uncheck the 'generate SSL
certificate' checkbox by default.
- *NIX with SSL: We now ask in ./Config if you want to generate an SSL
certificate. The certificate is then copied when you run 'make install'.
==[ MAJOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- None?
==[ MINOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- Various compile problems, in particular with remote includes enabled.
- Windows: the installer sometimes insisted that the Visual C++ 2008
redistributable package was not installed, when it actually was there.
- Windows: MOTD file date/time was always showing up as 1/1/1970.
- And more... see Changelog
==[ REMOVED / DROPPED ]==
- Windows 9X is no longer supported
- The networks/ directory has been removed
==[ KNOWN ISSUES ]==
- Regexes: Be careful with backreferences (\1, etc), certain regexes can
slow the IRCd down considerably and even bring it to a near-halt.
In the spamfilter user target it's usually safe though.
Slow spamfilter detection can help prevent the slowdown/freeze, but
might not work in worst-case scenario's.
- Regexes: Possessive quantifiers such as, for example, "++" (not to be
confused with "+") are not safe to use, they can easily freeze the IRCd.
==[ ADDITIONAL INFO ]==
